I cant count the number of home improvements I have on hold. Thank goodness there is a bottomless pit of money available for the White House to renovate.

He wants a place to hide so he can smoke (and who knows what else).

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Is this so he can be closer to ValJar?

We need to start budgeting now for a thorough fumigation project in January 2017.

Another place to rest his feet on our furniture.

What am I missing?
If I want another office, I just put a desk, a chair and a lamp in a different room in the house. Are all rooms taken in the white hut?

Will the white hut now have a “his & hers” offices?
Why stop there? might as well add North and South office.

I haven’t figured out his motive. Perhaps it’s like a dog that just likes to mark his territory.

[beethovenfan]

It’s the occupant who needs rehab.

[KitJ]

A fake office for a fake president?

Fitting.

1. ALWAYS golfing

2. Law changed to provide PERMANENT SS Protection

3. New offices like this

4. Constant effort to get around Congress, American people, “under the radar” stuff

Glenn Beck has an exact replica in his TV empire; why can’t they borrow that?/Sarc

[GnL]

I can't wait to see the new place!

[Humal]

Maybe George Soros is leasing it so he and Obama will be closer to collaborate http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2981938/posts It SHOULD be the closest Soros can get to occupying the White House.

[deputytess]

Great! The Sandy victims are still without homes; power & infrastructure & this tool is getting a second office. Wonder how much are we’ll get soaked for this redecorating scheme?

[radu]

Heck, he doesn’t need a second office. He’s NEVER in DC to use the existing one as it is!

The West Wing renovation is the latest phase of a significant project that resulted last year in the completion of a secret bunker-like facility deep underneath the White House driveway. The work also included construction under West Executive Drive, the private lane between the two buildings in the White House complex. The drive is ostensibly used as a VIP entrance for vehicles and as a parking lot.

Although officials described the excavation project completed last year in front of the West Wing lobby as an upgrade of air conditioning, plumbing and basic “infrastructure,” reporters chronicled the mysterious cavalcade of heavy trucks -- their commercial identifiers covered over -- as they deposited steel beams, huge pipes, concrete, electrical equipment and even a hot water heater into the cavernous hole.

OK. This is a hardening of the White House. And a way to mask who comes and goes (Foreign and Domestic). Remember the Won does not keep a White House visitors log in the way that previous POTUS did. You draw your own conclusions about what is going on here.

Something stinks here. The entire building was completely rebuilt and renovated during the Truman administration in the late 1940s to early 1950’s.
